Former Kentucky guard Devin Booker and the Phoenix Suns agreed to a 4-year “supermax” contract on Friday.
The deal will begin in 2024-25 and pay Booker $224 million.
Here are more details on the deal from ESPN:
Booker’s deal, agreed to early Friday, begins in 2024-25 and brings his total contract value to six years and $295 million.
Booker, 25, has become the face of the Suns franchise since being drafted 13th overall by Phoenix in the summer of 2015, including leading the Suns — alongside future Hall of Famer Chris Paul — to the NBA finals in 2021.
Now, he is officially tethered to Phoenix through the 2027-28 season after agreeing to this four-year extension, which won’t even begin until after his current contract expires following the 2023-24 season.
